RE: Re[2]: [WW] Rules Change: Grenades (cross post)
I watched "Band of Brothers" last night on HBO. For those who are not
familiar with it, it's another WWII story by Spielberg and Hanks productions
companies that is being shown on American Premium television.
On the show it was normal for them to throw grenades into the enemy position
as they rushed right in not 10 feet from the blast. It appears that training
showed the troops how far they should expect the blast to cover and simply
expected them to be clear as they rushed in with their SMG's
So, I would allow people outside the range that are combat trained to ignore
the grenade if its over 10 feet away.
Again, My opinion and your choice may vary.

Hi Screenmonkey!
Thanks for the answers. It all makes sense now. God is good to those that
can read ;-). I completely overlooked the passage on explosives.

I guess that was a typo then.

I just wondered what to do beyond the range of 20 feet. If players know the
rules, they would just go on, being sure that they are safe. In "reality" if
I saw a grenade land within 10 meters of me, I'd be sure to take full cover.
Any ideas on that?
Mit freundlichen Gruessen,
